90's Japanese sports cars and aging

[stealthee]

hell, if i wanted popups, i'd take a ford probe over an rx-7.

And your taste is already in question.

Hey man whats wrong with Miata looks you had one!!

[HellBringer]

About as similar as the 3000GT and Eclipse...

[IPD]

well at least be fair and use the 1st gen hardtop miata if you're going to throw it up there for comparison:





i could dig more, but i'm lazy.

You sir, just changed my mind. Those are some sexy lines.

Have you guys not seen lowered/wheels fd3s rx7's? They're beautiful cars!




I guess the reason why I'm a bit more defensive towards the FD is because my vr4 is always parked next to one in the shop..

I WILL say this though, out of all the 90's Japanese Sports cars, when the cars have gotten money pumped into them, when they DO get decked out, the 3/s IMO always came in last. I'm talking strictly cosmetically. Do you guys remember the goofy paint scheme on the HKS 3000GT from back in the day? Bee-R GTO, Bozzspeed, Kaze GTO? Most of the 3/s magazine appearances looked goofy as hell..PRM and zesty cars look meh...but there weren't many else...on the other hand, the wild Supras, RX7s, NSXs, 300ZXs and Skylines when gone wild, some actually look pretty crazy! The crazy 3s cars usually end up being WTF...

some examples...






catch my drift?? The 3/s really was the bastard child of the 90's supercars...
